I'll be joining the Isle of Skye band of brothers in a month or two - Barb has just mailed to inform me that MY kilt length of the IoS has just been delivered to her. I know she has a lot of work on hand and fortunately I am a patient man (!!) ...... I just know the wait will be worthwhile.

[PS: mine is Braeriach weight and Barb is pleating it to the stripe for me.]
White stripe Hamish? Can't wait to see the effect.

What I finally did was to tell Kathy to pleat it the way she thought it looked best. She did, I'm happy.

Ron
We may need to set up a sticky thread (or threads) under Heraldry and Tartans showing the different effects of pleating styles for popular tartans like IoS, X-Marks, etc.
